JULeye (formerly July) is an annual charity campaign dedicated to raising awareness and funds for eye health research. 2008 saw the launch of this new and exciting initiative from The Eye Foundation
As we continue to live longer we will all have an eye disease in our lifetime. Yet so little is known about eye diseases and what each of us can do to maintain our eye health.
